Kahoot! is an engaging online tool that allows students to use their own devices as a part of instruction. Short quizzes or polls can be placed on a smartboard and students respond to questions with their phones to different prompts. After the poll is completed, a student friendly graph of responses appears on the smartboard.
Socrative is a similar type of assessment tool that gives real time feedback on student responses. The activity makes for a great warm up to assess student prior knowledge or as an exit slip to gauge understanding of content covered in class.
Animoto is an engaging video creation project that allows students to build short animations in a very simple format. The program is perfect for performance assessment of student learning and allows students to apply what they have learned in an exciting and creative way.
